Nord University (Norwegian: Nord universitet) is a Norwegian state university, which was established by the King-in-Council on 9 October 2015. It is a merger of the former University of Nordland, Nesna University College and Nord-Trøndelag University College, and becomes operational on 1 January 2016. The institution's central management and administration is based in Bodø, with other study locations in Vesterålen, Mo i Rana, Nesna, Sandnessjøen Levanger, Steinkjer, Namsos and Stjørdal.
Nord University has approximately 1,200 employees and 12,000 students.
The institution's Norwegian name is Nord universitet, although the grammatically correct Norwegian spelling would be Norduniversitetet. The spelling was criticized by linguists such as Sylfest Lomheim and Finn-Erik Vinje. It was originally announced that the name would be spelled North University in English, but the English name was later changed to Nord University.
